Pros

The collaborative spirit among colleagues is the highlight of the job. You will work with highly talented, intelligent individuals who are always willing to help.

Cons

Unfortunately, the organizational culture is hampered by a top-down management style that feels outdated. Communication from leadership is often opaque, leading to a lack of trust and low morale across the team.
